Thomas Jefferson's Library: A Catalog With the Entries in His Own Order

Edited by James Gilreath and Douglas L. Wilson

1989 : Library of Congress

This catalog of Thomas Jefferson's library
was originally prepared at Jefferson's request by Nicholas
Trist in 1823. Trist worked from a copy of a printed 1815
catalog arranged alphabetically by title which was issued
by the Library of Congress after the U.S. Congress acquired
Jefferson's library in 1814. Trist's restored arrangement
reflects Jefferson's intellectual classification of the works
as well as their physical placement on the shelves at Monticello.
